Striker StOvVe,S Way.

For years Striker Stowe, tall, powerful
ScOtchman, had held the position of 'bOss
striker" at the steel works. Nearly all of
the men in his department were hard drink
ers. and he was no exception to the rule
But one day it was announced among the
workmen that he had become religious, and
sure enough, when pressed to take drink,
he said:
II shall never drink mair, lads. Ma
drunkard can inherit the Kingdom O God"
The knowing ones smiled, and said,
''Wait Bit. Wait until hot weather-un-
til July. When he gets as dry as a gravel
pit he will give in., He can't help it,
But right through the hottest months he
tOiled. the sweat pouring of in streams; yet
he seemed never to be tempted to drink.
Finally, as was taking the mems time,
one evening, | stopped and spoke with him.

Time Sentences.
ARTICLE ~.

1t is well known that there are but few
crimes committed without two principal act
ors. There is the injured party as well as
the party inflcting the injury; yet the theo-
ry of the law is that the injured party is
the cOmmonwealth-the people-and the
actual sufferer is only recognized as wit
ness. The reasons for this are we'll found
ed and this feature of the law will no doubt
remain as it now is in the main, but it
seems to the writer that he who suffers the
actual wrong, should not be lost sight of.
Where the injury is pecuniary loss, as is
true in the great majority of cases. in
stead of the state Seceiving all the benefit
of the cOnvict'S labor, it would be but right
that he who has been directly injured should
receive what he has lost. or at least a part
of it. Under existing laws his only reme
dy Is civil action against the criminal, and
this in reality amounts to nothing. This
operates against the object of the law in
many cases by causing a secret settlement,
whereby the loser agrees not to appear on
certain conditions, and the criminal can
not be prosecuted for want of evidence
(Which Is in itself crime, VIZ: that if COM
pounding felony, but never prosecuted
where those benefited islands in'' with the
prosecuting Attorney and in other cases
the prosecuting witness, seeing the utter
hOpelesSness OF ever receiving what he has
lost becomes vindictive and malicious, brings
unjust pressure to bear. and the offender is
made to serve long term OF imprisonment.
In such cases the injured party is not repaid,
but he is revenged.
tion for his labor, and was required to pay
back the money he had stolen and repair
the injury as far as possible, it would be
but justice to those who Suffer.frOm the di-
rect results of crime and would operate to
the advantage of that class of offenders
who have taken wrong step and see their
mistake and are willing to repair the injury,
and profit by the experience. We are we'll
aware that this could not be deemed entire
restitution in all cases. but we believe it
would be better for society as we'll as the
offender if the debt could be paid from the
labor of the convict in all cases where it is
possible to do so.
There is class of crimes where it would
seem that restitution can not be considered
part OF the penalty. but there are few
crimes committed where the wrong cannot
in some degree be repaired. If the father is
